Falstaff Island

Falstaff Island is a large, rocky island off the coast of Lower Montague, North Point, and Prince Edward Island. There is one building on the island, a cabin, overseen and maintained by the Canadian government. The island is rocky, largely forested, has a number of pebbly beaches, tidal pools, underground caverns, and has one dock. The island serves as the main setting for the novel, and is where Tim brings Troop 52 for a weekend camping expedition. It is later where the thin man arrives with the infection. The island becomes a place of horror and a scene for a fight to survive among the boys as the infection spreads. The island is quarantined by the Canadian Navy. Following the escape of Max, the island is firebombed with napalm, and the surrounded waters are flooded with Anotec Blue.
